Makedonska Muzichka Industriјa

Makedonska Muzichka Industriјa (MMI; Macedonian: Македонска Музичка Индустрија) is a North Macedonian organisation that represents the country's music industry. According to its official website, it is an organisation for the collective management of the rights of phonogram producers and musical performing artists, based in Skopje. In the framework of North Macedonian copyright and related rights law, MMI acts as a collective management body: it administers the related rights of producers of phonograms and of artists who perform music, collecting and distributing remuneration on their behalf. MMI's remit covers two main groups of rights holders — phonogram producers and performers — and it also addresses users, meaning natural or legal persons who, in the course of their occupation or activity, use phonograms or performances. Its website provides guidance to both rights holders and users, including information on whether a given use requires payment and how licensing works. The organisation also maintains a repertoire of domestic phonograms. Internationally, MMI is described as a member of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), the global body that represents the recording industry. Through that affiliation it is connected to the wider network of national music industry associations and collective management organisations. MMI is governed with the participation of its members: its website publishes notices and invitations to sessions of phonogram producers and of musical performing artists who are members of MMI, in connection with the election of representatives to the MMI Assembly. This indicates a member-based governance structure in which producers and performers each elect representatives. As a collective management organisation rather than a commercial record label, MMI does not release music itself; its role is to license uses, collect royalties and distribute them to rights holders, and to represent the interests of the North Macedonian recorded music sector domestically and internationally.

It is based in Skopje and operates within the framework of North Macedonian copyright and related rights law. MMI functions as a collective management organisation. Its stated purpose is the collective management of the related rights of producers of phonograms and of musical performing artists. In this capacity it licenses the use of protected phonograms and performances, collects remuneration from users, and distributes it to the rights holders it represents. Its website addresses both rights holders — producers and performers — and users, defined as natural or legal persons who use phonograms or performances in the course of their occupation or activity. It also maintains a repertoire of domestic phonograms. Internationally, MMI is a member of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), the organisation that represents the recording industry worldwide. This affiliation links MMI to the international network of national recording industry bodies and collective management organisations. MMI is member-based. Its website publishes invitations to sessions of phonogram producers who are MMI members and of musical performing artists who are MMI members, in connection with the election of representatives to the MMI Assembly. This reflects a governance model in which the two main categories of rights holders elect their own representatives. As of 2025 the organisation remained active, publishing member notices and public communications on its website, including a message of mourning dated 17 March 2025.
